Latest Deets on Sunwing’s Cuba Program

Sunwing

In an official statement, Sunwing has said Sunwing Vacations and Vacances WestJet Québec will resume limited vacation operations via WestJet as of 20JUN, 2026, with packages to Varadero (VRA) and Cayo Coco (CCC) from Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City. These packages will be available exclusively through Sunwing Vacations and Vacances WestJet Québec.

“All other Cuba destinations remain cancelled until November, and we continue to monitor the situation.”

In a conversation with Sunwing’s outgoing President Andrew Dawson, he confirmed the cancellation of Sunwing Vacations’ Cuba programs had been extended from the original late April date.

“In the latest moves, the cancellation of vacation flights to Holguin, Cayo Santa Maria (Santa Clara), Cienfuegos and Cayo Largo will now be extended until late October, with Varadero and Cayo Coco extended until late June,” said Dawson.

In other words, those two destinations will be served as of 20JUN, however, the full program is still in a holding pattern.

Dawson further explained that Sunwing, in conjunction with WestJet, their air provider, remain flexible so they can meet customer demand for vacations as the Cuba situation evolves and look forward to returning once conditions are conducive to safely resuming operations and also the Government of Canada’s Travel Advisory level is improved.
